Printing
To color-manage an image while printing:
1 Choose File > Print Preview.
2 Make sure Show More Options (located below
the image preview area) is checked.
3 Choose Color Management from the pop-up
menu. The Source Space section of the dialog box
displays the image’s color profile.
4 In the Print Space section of the dialog box,
choose an option for Profile:
• Choose Same As Source if you want the printer
to print the color of the image’s color profile
without converting it. This option will not take
any printer profiles into account.
• Choose Printer Color Management or
PostScript Color Management if you want to
manage color conversions using the print
driver. PostScript Color Management is only
available when printing to a PostScript device.
• If available, choose a predefined color profile for
your printer. These profiles are installed with
graphics applications and print drivers.
Choosing a predefined profile will result in an
automatic color conversion when printing.
5 Under Print Space, for Intent, choose a
rendering intent:
Perceptual is most suitable for photographic
images. Perceptual preserves the visual
relationship between colors that is perceived as
natural to the human eye, although the color
values themselves may change.
Saturation is suitable for business graphics, where
the exact relationship between colors is not as
important as having bright saturated colors.
Saturation creates vivid color at the expense of
accurate color.
Absolute Colorimetric is useful when you want to
match the color of one kind of paper on another
kind of paper, and have the most accurate match of
all the colors. For example, you’d use Absolute
Colorimetric to reproduce the appearance of a
sheet of newsprint onto a sheet of bright white
paper. The bright white paper would be printed
over with a dingy gray to simulate the actual
newsprint appearance.
Relative Colorimetric is useful when you want to
match inks printed on various paper types. For
example, you can use this option to match inks
printed on newsprint, but not the color of
newsprint itself.
